The proposal creator has been updated to cover some errors (whitespaces within proposal name) and now makes clear the payment conditions in a written summary to avoid unintended proposal payment settings.

A new button to mark all comments as read is now available within the "Budget" section. The button shows up on the up-right corner only, in case there are unread comments.

Updated android app
, Aug 29, 2016 at 07:56

The DashCentral android app has been updated to reflect the new brand and new API servers. The app has a new name in the store, so please delete the old one and install the new one:

Dashwhale has been rebranded to DashCentral, to give the plattform a more professional appeal. We all love the whale. But it had to go. The whale with big cigar theme is suboptimal if we want to attract new DASH investors and is problematic when screenshots are shown at cryptocurrency events. DashCentral user and visitor amount is increasing heavily. It has become an important place for new masternode owner onboarding. At some size, things become political. But hey, didn't we all have a great time with the whale?

The iOS Dashwhale app "Dashy" has been officially released. Check it out: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1033268631

It supports masternode monitoring and shoutbox. Budget proposal information will be added within the next months.

Small improvements
, Feb 4, 2016 at 17:11

Displayed proposal information has been improved with regards to the voting deadline as well as proposal start and end dates. Budget API now comprises also the total budget, next superblock and payment dates.

Performance improvements
, Nov 1, 2015 at 20:08

An issue leading to random lags of the Dashwhale website and API has been fixed. Everything should be smooth and fast now!

Nextpay & enhanced privacy
, Oct 25, 2015 at 12:20

Trying to guess, when your masternode is going to be paid is a pain. To fix this, we are happy to introduce the new "Nextpay" status. It's a simple bar allowing you to evaluate at a glance, when next payment occurs. The bar switches to green, when your masternode reached a payment queue rank within the top 10% of all masternodes, indicating that your node can now randomly be selected for a payment anytime.

Registering a Dashwhale account does not require to enter an email address anymore. Simply choose a username and a password and you are done. Existing users can delete the email address from their account settings. Password reset function is of course only possible with a set account email.

Dashwhale updater V4 has been released. It now supports automatic restart of crashed masternodes. You'll be notified after a restart has been performed (email, push notification on mobile or slack).

Go to My account => Account settings for further information and download!

De-clustered voting
, Oct 12, 2015 at 17:46

If you run multiple masternodes and use the manual wallet "vote-many" function on commandline, all votes for a proposal are submitted to the network within one second. So it's easy as pie to see which and how many masternodes belong to one owner.

To counter this issue, we just released "de-clustered" voting. Simply hit the "vote" button on a Dashwhale proposal page. Your proposal votes are submitted over several hours at random timepoints. Nobody is able to group your masternodes based on their votes anymore.

We just released the new masternode incidents feature. It is a history of the critical downtimes of your masternodes including the date and duration. This is very helpful in a variety of situations including quality assurance of external masternode hosting services.

Enhanced proposal editor
, Oct 9, 2015 at 10:50

Good news for DASH proposal owners. We integrated a WYSIWYG Editor, that allows you to fully style your proposal description and add images and videos.

Donation feature
, Oct 6, 2015 at 14:49

Every whale now has it's personal donation address. If you assign a donation to a specific month of "Dashwahle donations", we award you with one or more whale fins, displayed within comments and shoutbox section. The amount of fins correlates with the amount donated. There is a maximum of 6 fins for really generous donators!

Check "My account" => "Donations"

Comfortable masternode budget voting
, Sep 28, 2015 at 18:25

We are very exited to announce the launch of our new voting service, allowing you to comfortably submit your DASH budget votes via the Dashwhale website. For the setup, you simply have enter your masternode privkeys on your masternode settings page. These privkeys are encrypted in your browser with a passphrase, to ensure, that even we don't have access to your privkeys. To cast you votes, simply press the "Vote YES" or "Vote NO" button on the proposal page, enter your passphrase and you are done.

Nobody likes to fiddle around with the DASH wallet on command line, to vote for the large amount of budget proposals. We hope, comfortable & safe voting via the Dashwhale website, will further improve voting activity.

Special thanks go to UdjinM6 for the awesome raw voting and js vote signing implementation and to Evan for outlining the concept of trustless voting.

New proposal generator
, Sep 23, 2015 at 06:36

We just released the new Dashwhale proposal generator, removing the pain from proposal creation.

You can simply select the payment cycle, timepoint and amount to generate the command for proposal submisssion. All inputs are validated, so you can be sure your proposal submission will work like a charm.

Go to "Budget proposals" => "Create proposal" to check it out!

Claim proposal ownership
, Sep 23, 2015 at 06:34

Proposal owners can now claim their proposal ownership in order to enter the proposal title & description. They will be also able post progress reports and documents soon.

Proposal owners are highlighted within discussion.

Budget proposal discussion feature
, Sep 16, 2015 at 16:28

Hey guys, our budget proposal area has been beefed up!

You can now post comments to each proposal. Comment feature is build reddit style, to ensure latest and most relevant posts stay on the top and also new posts are visible to everybody.

Additionally, we implemented a notification system with regard to new unread comments. So you'll see a yellow bubble within the navigation menu, in case there are unread comments for a proposal.

At the current stage, there are not really any controversial proposals. Everybody agrees on core-team and public-awareness :) But we assume there will be new proposals soon and Dashwhale is ready to provide the plattform for the discussion!

Budget proposals
, Sep 9, 2015 at 16:16

The new budget proposal page has been finished. Use the up arrow to increase the visibility of a proposal to other Dashwhale visitors, if you think it's worth a discussion about the content.

Comment feature and full masternode proposal voting by privkey will be finished soon!

If it is enabled, we can use the current blockheight to determine if your masternode is on the correct fork. We can also determine within seconds, if your daemon is crashed, to give you some time to restart it, before it drops of the payment list (new V3 feature).

Dashwhale-updater is now also available as binary
